Dianne Taylor, NCPS

Dianne Taylor is a Person Centred counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She has seven years of experience in both the charity sector and private practice. People come to her for help with worries such as anxiety, low mood, addictions and problems that trace back to childhood. She aims to create a respectful and attentive space where people can begin to talk about what matters to them.

She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation. Sessions focus on practical skills and gentle reflection, with tools to manage negative self-talk, low motivation and stress. Dianne encourages small steps that build confidence over time and supports people through grief, relationship strain and major life changes including midlife transitions.

Her background includes group work in mental health settings as well as one-to-one counselling. That mix informs how she balances structured techniques with open, client-led discussion. Dianne draws on approaches such as cognitive work to tackle unhelpful thinking and emotionally focused methods to explore relationship issues.

She emphasises compassion, patience and unconditional positive regard. Meetings are designed to help people feel heard and to practise new coping strategies between sessions. The pace and focus are chosen together, with adjustments made as needs change.

Those wanting to explore concerns like sleep or eating difficulties, ADHD-related struggles, parenting strain or career stress can bring these topics into sessions. Dianne also supports people dealing with trauma, attachment issues and bereavement as part of her broader work.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose meaningful actions instead. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions where values and motivation feel unclear.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help with attachment issues, intimacy-related concerns and recovery after trauma by exploring relational needs and reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as you learn what helps most.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm what is offered before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or fitting a short check-in around work. It can also allow sessions to continue when people move or are living abroad, which is helpful for international clients.
